For the sake of consolidating useful info, I'm reviving an old thread rather than starting a new one. But with a request for new/different feedback. I know someone here will be able to help:
Can anyone tell me how Rivet saddles compare specifically to the Selle Anatomica? I've been using the later since Tom was around and Deb was a part of things, I think, and have been so happy with them that I just didn't have a reason to change or experiment with others. When something works.... But Selle Anatomica appears to have recently changed their rail design, and it no longer works for me. I can't slide it far enough forward and, even if I could marginally make it work by buying a zer0-setback seatpost, would likely be precluded from using a Carradice saddle bag support (which clamps onto the rails behind the seat). That alone is a deal breaker. I'm not sure why they did this, because it was the *other* direction (people sliding them too far backwards) that had been resulting in bent rails and durability issues, from what I've read. I might be reading too much into things, but it seems like they're getting a bit too corporate / mainstream / trend-chasing, too. Their new all-carbon saddle is going the wrong direction for my tastes, for instance, and I don't think Tom's sisters are even personally involved anymore. Do Rivet saddles have similar adjustability range to the older Selle Anatomica Saddles? I'd love to see a side-by-side photo of the undersides, if you know of one or could take one. Can anybody offer any impressions regarding the fit of the different models (Diablo, Independence, Pearl) compared to the Titanico? I assume the Diablo is based on the design of the same name that Tom was working on when he died. I once thought I'd want that, but I'm obviously comfortable with something wider. Or perhaps I should take a look at the new Brooks Cambium. Can anybody offer an impression/comparison in that regard?
